Life is an exercise to express the InExpressible.

Today is birthday of HDH Pramukh Swami Maharaj. He completed 94 years today. You can get many more details, articles, books, events etc. on the web. This post is to just list out few poems. These poems are written by me. They are about HDH Swamishree. They are also the ones, who were recited in front of Swamishree. So let me share those poems. I stayed at BAPS hostel during college time. So I got opportunity to be blessed by His divine grace. In college time, I started writing poems. I wrote first poem on New year. Then Pujya Bapa only inspired me to write poems about Him and slowly I started writing more and more poems.

Prayer 1. This is my second poem. Swamishree visited our hostel. I composed this poem. I was busy in exams. So someone else, recited this poem during morning walk of Swamishree. Later on I got feedback that He was very happy with this poem.

Prayer 2 The 75th birthday was celebrated as Amrut Mahotsav. We all prepared a birthday card. it was pyramid shape. It had steps on it. We posted my this poem on the card.

We had special Satsang on Amrut Mahotsav. I prepared a long poem. The first one was just like prologue or preface. I borrowed the idea from symbol of Air India / Indian Airlines.

The second one describes the present situation of common SAADHAK (seeker).

The third one is prayer to accelerate progress on the spiritual path on this occasion of Amrut Mahotsav.

I wrote a latter to Swamishree. I was eagerly waiting for the response. I visited Akshardham Gandhinagar. I noticed Shabari in the exhibition. I wrote this poem. Shabari - a character in Ramayan - is all about infinite passion, faith and eagerness.

Lord Swaminarayan mentioned that he noticed priest's action behind the idol of Jagannatha at Puri. Just imagine, if the an idol in the temple gets speech, then what the almighty describes. This imagination is captured in "GOVINDE MAANDI GOTHADI" (the lord Krishna started conversation). In this poem, please read the below line:

" લોકો દિવસભર છેતરે એક બીજાનેસવારમાં તેની મારાથી કરે શરૂઆત..

Swamishree commented, "if one start his any activity with God in the morning, then he can succeed well through out the day." The whole crowd laughed by listening to this wit/humor of pujya Bapa.

So I hope, the readers of this blog must have liked this post. Stay tune for more posts on my poems and many more other interesting stuff.

We observed, in last few years, many new mobile handset launched in the Indian market. They are low price, yet rich in features. It is really a cut throat competition, where cost of the handset and time to market both are critical. Today, I wish to list out some important features that I am looking for in mobile handset. This can be seed for new Android app idea. Some features may need hardware change. Some may feasible. Some may already exist in some handset. I request readers of this blog to list out such apps, and/or handset which fulfill my desired features. This is a kind of personal blog. Shortcut for settingsI often change following settings. How nice if we have short cut for that. 1. I noticed that I cannot transfer files between Android phone and PC, if the mobile screen is locked. Can we make file transfer enable even if the mobile screen is locked?If not, then..... I often changed: Settings->Display->Screen timeout from 15 seconds to 5 min before transferring file and revert back, once it is done. Can we have short cut for that?2. I noticed that if I keep my phone in 3G mode ("WCDMA only" OR "GSM/WCDMA preferred") then my phone often lost signal. In such case I am miss incoming call. So I keep the mode "GSM only". However, whenever I want to use 3G data service, I need to change mode with Settings->Wireless network->More->Network Mode. I revert back once done. Can we have short cut for it?Hardware limitation OR software limitation? Now, let me list out desired features, that may need hardware change3. I wish to use mobile call to listen to some live event. It can be musical concert or speech or anything. I describe it further in my blog post "Live audiocast" The mobile is designed to capture voice from nearby source only. Even its microphone is mounted deep inside so the ambient noise can be eliminated. Some mobile has option to enable/disable capturing of this ambient noise. Why cannot have a dedicated socket in mobile 3.5mm diameter to connect external microphone? We can connect mobile directly to amplifer system of the event and do live audio cast with much better audio quality. Even we can take out two cable from earphone and connect female 3.5 mm socket to connect external microphone. No need to enhance the handset. The handset has constrain for size so 2nd 3.5 socket may not feasible. 4. I understand, that one needs to insert earphone to play FM radio. The earphone acts as antenna. The FM radio can be played in earphone OR in mobile speaker. Why cannot we stream that audio over bluetooth? I wish to play FM radio over remote bluetooth speaker.5. There are many MP3 player with so many sound effects, equalizers on Google Play. Many apps about equalizers also. Why these equalizers only applicable to MP3 files? Why we cannot apply them to audio from FM radio. I noticed that FM radio on mobile is little delayed compare to normal analog FM radio. The mathematical processing by equalizers will increase the latency further. It is OK. Anyway it is delayed. Let it be further delayed. AppsNow few apps, that I am looking for. 6. All mobile have default app for FM radio. We can store few channels as favorite. We can list out them and choose desire one. However many times most of the channel broadcast advertisements as same time. So I do not want to choose one of my favorite channel, but I wish to jump to next favorite channel to know, there advertisement is over or not. Can we have such navigation facility among all favorite channels? It should be possible by OEM. Can it be possible using Android NDK or SDK as 3rd party app? 7. Many apps support copy and past feature. It is good. We can send SMS content as WhatsApp message and vica versa. I am wondering, why dial pad does not support copy paste feature. I often get my meeting ID in e-mail. I dial the bridge number from my address-book. Once call is established, I need to paste the bridge number in response to IVR menu. Such apps should be possible. 8. Many times, we need to note down phone number, that remote person inform us. We can dial that number, during on going call. However, once call is over the number disappear ! How to invoke address book with minimum steps during ongoing call, to store number? 9. In my old phone, I had facility to create group in address book. I can assign picture and ringtone to that group. I can detect the possible topic by ringtone only as I know the caller belongs to which group. Even the picture on screen set context for it. I used to keep logos of organisation as picture of group. Such feature or app, I am missing on Android. Yes, I found one app about group ringtone. However it maintain its own internal group. So if I add any new number to a group say X. Then the app does not automatically assign the ringtone for group X to that new number. I am wondering how such useful app is missing on Google play. 10. I wish a simple app, which keep scanning the WiFi SSID, when I start the app. Then it stores those SSID in a text file along with time stamp in sorted order where SSID with strongest signal first. The end-user should able to assign user friendly name to SSID. The app should show that name v/s time stamp to display the text file. This app can be used to track children, where they spent time when they came back to home. 11. Similar app, with scanning of bluetooth name. Both app can be used to find out how much time the child spent with particular friend. For WiFi case, one mobile should start WiFi hotspot. This should be feasible. Anyway we have app for outdoor tracking, which list out cell id v/s time stamp in text file. 12. Everyone like free Internet. :) We should have an app, which scan only those SSID, which does not need password. Then try to connect to it. This should be feasible. Questions13. My earlier Android phone had swipe keyboard. Very productive and convenient. Now, my new phone does not have it. How to make it enable? This is Sony Xperia S. So enough for today. The desires have no end. :) The lucky are ones whose desire fulfill, before that arise. Stay tune to your own blog : "Express YourSelf !"

My today's post is also based on a recent news in Times of India. I wrote earlier on "Reading, Writing and Coding" Let me list out few important website addresses. Majority of them are with reference to today's news

Raspberry Pi, a single board computer is very popular. There are many projects can be developed using this small computer. There are many such devices. I just referred the Wikipedia and got a big list. Out of them, I filtered out all low price single board computers, that includes Raspberry Pi also. Then I made comparison using data available on Wikipedia itself. Here is the resulthttps://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7GPy9XX-5xjTlZjNTFrOTRoMnc/view?usp=sharing

We have a huge collection of English rhymes, various animation movies on those rhymes, CD, VCD, DVD, YouTube videos. How about other languages? There was some audio company in Pune release an audio cassette long back about this nice and simple Sanskrit rhymes. Here it goes:

16.7, 18.30 and 18.31 : For what you are responsible and for what you are not responsible.

प्रवृत्तिं च निवृत्तिं च जना न विदुरासुराः।

न शौचं नापि चाचारो न सत्यं तेषु विद्यते॥ १६.७

प्रवत्तिं च निवृत्तिं च कार्याकार्ये भयाभये।

बन्धं मोक्षं च या वेति बुद्धिः सा पार्थ सात्त्विकी ॥ १८.३०

यया धर्ममधर्मं च कार्यं चाकार्यमेव च।

शुनि चैव श्वपाके च पण्डिताः समदर्शिनः ॥ ५-१८

सुहृन्मित्रार्युदासीनमध्यस्थद्वेष्यबन्धुषु ।

साधुष्वपि च पापेषु समबुद्धिर्विशिष्यते ॥ ६-९

समोऽहं सर्वभूतेषु न मे द्वेष्योऽस्ति न प्रियः ।

ये भजन्ति तु मां भक्त्या मयि ते तेषु चाप्यहम्‌ ॥ ९-२९

अपि चेत्सुदुराचारो भजते मामनन्यभाक्‌ ।

साधुरेव स मन्तव्यः सम्यग्व्यवसितो हि सः ॥ ९-३०

In my opinion, the core message of chapter 10 is : Put your 100% in whatever you do.

9.41 : All are doing their best

यद्यद्विभूतिमत्सत्त्वं श्रीमदूर्जितमेव वा ।

तत्तदेवावगच्छ त्वं मम तेजोंऽशसम्भवम्‌ ॥ ९. ४१

18.48 : The act can have fault. However the actor is always without any fault.

8.20 and 18.20 : The meditation process : "I am" in part 2

परस्तस्मात्तु भावोऽन्योऽव्यक्तोऽव्यक्तात्सनातनः ।

यः स सर्वेषु भूतेषु नश्यत्सु न विनश्यति ॥ ८-२०

सर्वभूतेषु येनैकं भावमव्ययमीक्षते ।

अविभक्तं विभक्तेषु तज्ज्ञानं विद्धि सात्त्विकम् ॥ १८-२०

9.9 : The lord Vishnu simply sleeping at sea and yet managing the world. Like a house-maker so expert in making tea, that when guest comes, she focus on talking with guest and prepare tea as background process. Same way, Lord Vishnu just run the show as background process.

न च मां तानि कर्माणि निबध्नन्ति धनञ्जय।

उदासीनवदासीनमसक्तं तेषु कर्मसु ॥ ९-९

9.10 and 10.42 : The presence of soul in this body makes the body to grow, function, breathe. The presence of consciousness on this planet earth make all the environmental parameter appropriate to foster life here.

Undo your changes even after quitting the VIM editorAs all of us know, if you make changes in a file using VIM editor, the changes are permanent and you cannot get the old version back after you save and quit the editor.But VIM v7.3 allows you to get the old version back even after quitting the editor.Here is a tip that shows you how to configure VIM to remember changes.To enable Undo, execute the following commands in VIM just before starting to edit the file.:set undofile:set undodir=/tmpThis is to be done every time you start editing a file. In case you need the configuration to be there for all files that you open in VIM, create a file called '.exrc' or '.vimrc' in $HOME directory. In my case, it is /myhome. Open the just created file and add the following commands:# vi /myhome/.exrcset undofileset undodir=/tmpSave and close the file.:wqFrom now onwards, the Undo history is maintained in the background for all files that you edit with VIM.

Measuring the network throughput between two Linux systems

Iperf is a tool that measures the bandwidth and the quality of a network link. It can be installed very easily on any Linux system. One host must be set as the client and the other one as the server. Make sure that iperf is installed on both systems. If it is not installed, then use your package manager to install it before trying this tip.

Now run iperf on one of the Linux systems as the server, as shown below:

By default, the iperf client connects to the iperf server on the TCP port 5001 and the bandwidth displayed by iperf is the bandwidth from the client to the server. In the above example, it is 8.51 Mbits/sec between two Linux test systems connected over a wireless network.
